Lady Good-for-Nothing by Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, Fiction, Fantasy, Action & Adventure
SHE HAD DISHONORED THE SABBATH
They had stripped her to the waist, and then for decency -- their decency! -- had thrown a jacket of coarse sacking over her, lacing it loosely in front with pack-thread. But, because their work required it, this garment had been gathered up into a rope at the neck, whence it dangled in folds over her young breast.
Faith never yet has burnt man or woman at the stake.
Religion has burnt its tens of thousands.
This is the astonishing love story of Ruth and Oliver.
A lyrical and unusual novel of historical passion, originally published under the pseudonym Q by the editor of The Oxford Book of Verse, the famous poet Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch.
